In the beginning of the year, we came out with an article discussing GDPR- one year since passing. It was clear that GDPR wasn't something to be taken lightly as the fines stacked up for many companies. Now we have the visual proof. 

Happy Birthday GDPR! On May 25^th, internationally we will be “celebrating” the first anniversary of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Nearly one year later, have the stricter rules really made a difference? Consumers are definitely seeing more pop-up privacy notices online, thanks to GDPR, but for now the astronomical fines the new regulations threatened have not yet surfaced.

In a short nine months, there has been hundreds of thousands of cases and millions in fines.

And this is just the start.
